Background |
|
The UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women (UNTF) is a global multi-lateral grant making mechanism supporting national efforts to prevent and end violence against women and girls. The UN Trust Fund was established through the UN General Assembly Resolution 50/166 in 1996 with UN Women as its Administrator on behalf of the UN system. The UN Trust Fund provides grants to advance the development of innovative models and strategic interventions in the area of ending violence against women and girls. Grantees – comprising governments and non-governmental organizations - have engaged diverse actors, such as women’s, men’s, adolescents and youth groups, indigenous communities, religious and traditional leaders, human rights organizations and the media. To date, the UN Trust Fund has awarded US $129 million to 463 initiatives in 139 countries and territories. In 2015 the UN Trust Fund developed a new five-year (2015-2020) strategic plan with the mission to “advocate for and finance innovative approaches for preventing and ending violence against women and girls, to catalyze learning from global evidence collected from the programmes funded by the UNTF and to leverage its unique mandate and convening power to foster global giving to end violence against women and girls”. It will achieve this mission through three inter-connected pillars of work:
This position is intended to support the second pillar: the development of an evidence hub. The UNTF has built up a comprehensive body of knowledge about the kinds of solutions that carry a promise of positive impact and the contexts in which they will be most effective. However, the challenge has been how to effectively “harvest” this knowledge, first by analyzing and evaluating the information and second by making it accessible to the global community. In order to capitalize on this specific and unique body of knowledge and experience, this second pillar of the UNTF’s Strategic Plan will form a strong link between our first pillar, grant giving (including its existing monitoring and evaluation processes and activities), and the third pillar, namely identifying effective initiatives so that global resources can be allocated accordingly. To develop the Evidence Hub there is a need for additional expertise in the team. We are looking for an evaluation specialist with experience in the field of ending violence against women. The specialist will assist with the improvement of our evaluation policy and guidelines, extract, analyze and summarize findings from project evaluations, assist with knowledge management events and help with capacity building of our project partners in evaluation, data collection and monitoring. We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated, hard-working and analytical person who can work well alone and in a team. The job is suitable for either someone based in New York, USA but (for the right candidate) we may consider the option of remote working / home-based support.
